Deputy Mike Poole of the Westmoreland County Sheriff's Department has recently purchased the Pruce property. As he reconciles with the love of his life, Jillian, and moves her and her daughter into his new home, a dark presence begins to make itself known. A hellish, soaking-wet child with big saucer-like black eyes haunts them, while a more matronly spirit protects them all from the child's bloodlust for retribution.

Meanwhile, Mike, an officer in the CID unit of the Sheriff's Office, is assigned a brutal murder case. As he investigates, he finds all roads lead back to the old gravel pit road on his own property.
